"You'll find these little iced cakes at every Australian bake sale. Some versions include a swath of berry jam in the center. Some coat the icing with fresh shaved coconut. To keep the calories down, I skip the jam and use shredded dried coconut and a slimmed down cake based on a sponge from Flo Braker (she used it to make her famous jelly rolls)...."
